Welcome to the website for Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas, LLP, a personal injury law firm with offices in Warrenton (Fauquier County) and Culpeper, Virginia. The purpose of this site is to educate you about our firm, as well as the highly focused field of personal injury law.

Our firm was founded 40 years ago. We are by design a small firm of three attorneys and single minded in our approach. WE PRACTICE PERSONAL INJURY LAW ONLY. With offices in Culpeper and Warrenton, we handle cases throughout Virginia in both state and federal courts.

We represent ordinary people against big insurance companies. They are tough opponents, and therefore we must work hard to obtain fair results. We don’t just settle cases, either. If they refuse to pay fairly, we will not hesitate to take a case into court and before a jury.

A Team of Attorneys with One Focus

We only handle personal injury cases. These may include cases arising from truck accidents, auto wrecks, workplace injury, medical malpractice, or nursing home negligence. They may also include cases of devastating wrongful death.

Our firm does not hold itself out as a “jack of all trades.” Instead, our choice to specialize has resulted in an efficient practice, a distinct identity within the legal and insurance fields, and BETTER RESULTS for our clients than we could otherwise obtain. Our focus has worked.

Compassion the Injured Need and Deserve

We take a personal, “one on one” approach with our clients. Other firms may assign paralegals or “claim handlers” to meet with clients. Not us. From the first consultation through case conclusion, our attorneys will devote all time necessary with our clients, personally, to make sure that expectations are met.

This is for good reason. First, an injury victim must be educated about all aspects of the case in order to make informed decisions. This calls for personal involvement. Second, every client is unique. Before we can truly represent someone, we must know that person. Not just as a stack of paper, but as an individual. Why do we make such a personal commitment? Because it is absolutely necessary, and our clients deserve it.

In cases of personal injury, the law firm of Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas offers our clients in Fauquier County unflinching and effective counsel in protecting their rights and obtaining the compensation they need to care for themselves and their families.

Thank you for visiting our site. In addition to offering the injured thorough answers to questions about their injuries and the rights they possess, we’ve designed the site to provide relevant and timely commentary about the many legal and political challenges facing the rights of the injured and disabled today. We make this effort because we believe that keeping the injured informed of the many threats that exist to their rights is the best way to preserve those rights.

Car Accidents & Injuries

Our firm represents those suffering from personal injuries as a result of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, drunk drivers, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents and other traffic accidents. We represent clients in serious injury cases such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, dismemberment and death.

Tractor Trailer Accidents

In Fauquier County, Culpeper County, and surrounding areas, we help people seriously injured in truck accidents. Because of their sheer size, weight, and operating speed, tractor trailers cause devastating accidents, injuries, and wrongful death. Trucks are highly regulated at both the state and federal levels, and therefore truck accident claims are typically more complex than other types of personal injury cases.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving presents one of the greatest hazards to motorists on the highway. The act of driving while intoxicated is simply reprehensible. By its very nature, a drunk driving accident is almost always serious and requires an attorney's extra diligence. We have successfully handled numerous cases on behalf of innocent victims of drunk driving. We target drunk drivers and make them pay.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death case can arise from several types of circumstances, such as a car accident, truck collision, medical malpractice, or workplace injury. When a person dies as a result of another’s negligence or fault, the effects are understandably devastating on surviving family members. These effects are both financial and emotional. Correctly handling a wrongful death claim requires a unique perspective. We believe that a wrongful death attorney must view the case from the survivors’ point of view in order to aptly convey their tremendous loss.

Uninsured Motorist Claims

Uninsured drivers present a specific risk to others on the highway. This specifically holds true where an uninsured motorist negligently causes injury or even death to another person. Virginia law does provide a remedy against uninsured drivers. Fortunately, we as consumers have options in protecting ourselves as well.

Motorcycle Accidents

Personal injuries as a result of motorcycle accidents can be life-threatening and life-altering. By the very nature of a motorcycle, bikers are more vulnerable to injury in the case of a collision. This especially holds true when the other vehicle, usually a car or truck, is at fault. We represent clients in serious motorcycle injury cases in addition to auto and trucking accidents.

Insurance Claim Denials

The attorneys of Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas handle personal injury cases. Many of our clients contact us after an insurance company has denied their claim. These injuries are sustained in car, truck and motorcycle accidents; work-related accidents; slips and falls; and other circumstances of negligence. Please take note: an insurance company's denial is not necessarily the final word.

Nursing Home & Assisted Living Abuse

We assist families whose loved ones have been mistreated or abused in nursing home and assisted care facilities. We handle cases involving bed sores or other preventable infections, malnutrition, inadequate supervision, rape, physical abuse and emotional abuse.

Virginia Workers Compensation

For injured workers in Virginia, obtaining adequate workers compensation is often an uphill battle. If you’ve suffered arm injuries, leg injuries, head injuries, back injuries, eyesight or hearing loss, or any other type of injury in the workplace, you need an experienced attorney to help you exercise all of your rights under Virginia law.

Construction Accidents & Injuries

Construction workers face some of the most dangerous risks on the job, including falls from roofs, crane and heavy equipment accidents, scaffolding collapses, structural cave-ins, electrocution, fires and explosions, compressed and natural gas explosions from underground pipes and cables, and welding accidents. The resulting injuries can include third degree burns, paralysis from spinal cord injuries, de-gloving injuries, brain injuries.
